We never feel enough for our needs. There are too many things we want to achieve in this world and it make us do everything to gain it. We often fell upset, when we hear others success rather than proud of what has he gained. Even if it just a glance tought.. When you hear someone’s achievement, read his inspirational writing or see his phenomenal works, we attempt (maybe : inspirate) to do or to get the same things too. But, sometimes we feel a little bit jealous with his achievement. Then, we rack our brains, thinking a way to “surprass” him (still in a legal way ofcourse) and to make ourself more superior. Eventhough Rosulallah teach us to compete in doing good things, fastabiqul khairat, but, please beware of this soul sickness. Here, we call it as “dengki” (envious).

Sa’id Hawwa in his book “Tazkiyatun Nafs” divides envious in four term. From the lowest level of envious which is “feel glad with others achievement, and doesn’t have willingness to eliminate it from his brother”. Till the higher level, which is “feel upset with others achievement, and willing to eliminate it from his brother“.
